SpongeBob SquarePants is an entertaining character which many children love these days. For this reason, what better theme to have for a party celebrating the future arrival of a little one than SpongeBob SquarePants?

Decorations with SpongeBob in Mind
One of the attractive things about utilizing a SpongeBob SquarePants theme for a baby shower is that it is gender neutral and will suit a baby shower which is being thrown for the mother-to-be of either a baby boy or baby girl. When decorating with this theme in mind, specific colors which will really bring out the SpongeBob character are blues, greens, yellows, and reds. A SpongeBob SquarePants centerpiece can be placed in the middle of a nice flower arrangement on each table throughout the room. A nice baby shower sign can be hung on the wall which features the complimentary colors used throughout the room. To mark the guest of honor’s chair, a Mylar SpongeBob SquarePants balloon can be tied to her chair and the chair can even be draped with a nice yellow chair cover or cushion to really bring out the “Reserved” aspect for the guest of honor.

Fun Games to Play
An entertaining baby shower game which can be played that not only the guests but the mother-to-be will enjoy as well is the Name That Food game. The hostess will provide 12 different jars of baby food with the labels removed but marked with numbers from 1 to 12. Each guest will need to take a sample of each jarred food and write down what they believe each food jar contains. The person with the most correct answers wins a prize that has a SpongeBob theme to it, such as SpongeBob-shaped soap, or a prize with coordinating SpongeBob colors, such as a yellow and red photo album. The clothespin game is also fun to play at baby showers. With regard to this theme, whoever says “SpongeBob” throughout the baby shower gets their clothespin taken away and the one with the most clothespins at the end of the shower wins a prize.

A fun way to get to know everyone else is to play “I have Never…” In this game it is good to have never done something that many other people may have done. To play, give each guest a bunch of tokens, such as pennies, buttons, paperclips, etc. The host then says, “I have never…” and finishes the sentence with something like, “been swimming in a lake.” Anyone else in the group who has been swimming in a lake, must give that person one of their tokens. The person with the most tokens after everyone has had a turn wins the game.

Baby shower games are a great addition to any baby shower to make the event even that much more fun for all who attend. Baby Scrabble is one such game which will entertain and delight the crowd. It is a wonderful interactive game which will test the knowledge of the guests and possibly award them with a prize in the end.

Items Needed to Play Baby Scrabble
Depending on how many guests are going to be attending the baby shower, the hostess will need to bring enough Scrabble boards to accommodate all of the individuals. If the hostess only has one Scrabble board, she probably won’t need to go out and purchase extra boards as she may be able to borrow some Scrabble games from friends and family members. The idea behind Baby Scrabble is to play Scrabble as one normally would yet only be able to make up words which relate to childbirth, parenting and of course, babies.

How to Award Prizes to the Winners and What Types of Prizes Should Be Awarded
The hostess can arrange the prizes in a number of ways. Perhaps the easiest way to award prizes is to have a prize or two handed out to the guest(s) with the highest score(s) at each table at the end of the Scrabble round. Some wonderful prizes to award at a baby shower are picture frames, candles or Bath and Body Works baskets.

Baby Scrabble is a fun game to play which ties in real nicely with the overall baby shower theme.

This can be one as just an activity or a game with one winner. It is the perfect way to give new parents advice. They can have a wealth of good baby information at their fingertips day or night and choose to use it or not without offending any friends or family. It will also make a nice keepsake of all the guests that attended, even older ones you will remember for their great advice many years down the road.

Ahead of time, purchase a nice blank book with a fabric or decorative cover. Pass it around the party and ask the guests to each write their best baby advice. To make it a game, ask the parents to select the one piece of advice they didn’t think they could do without. The author is the prize winner.
